firstclass emigration interests; that is TO say,
to make arrangements for monied Irish AID
English farmers who are arraD giug 70 come
to America with money sufficient to buy the

THE EVE OF ATONEMENT

at the organ aud played abeautiful symphony
Rabbi Gutmacher then conducted services in
his usual pleasing manner. Before the ser
mon the well known Lotus quartette kindly
rendered, by request, soul inspiring hymn
A solo most beautifully sung by the sweet
tenor. Mr.. A. L Crawford, would have
brought forth rounds of applause had the oc-
casion been at divine service. As the last
sound of the sole were. being waited away
the Rabbi assembled the pulpit, announcing the
text of his discourse, Hosea IA ., Return,
Oh. Israel, to the Lord, thy God, for thou
hast fallen by thine iniquity" The text was
handled in the reverend gentleman's usual
mastery style and eloquent manner a
comparison was ably drawn between
orthodoxy and reform and before the rabbi
finished his instructive sermon 1t was clear
to all fairminded persons that the
DAYS of meaningless ceremonies had gone

VICTIM OF A "HUGE JOKE"

The Santa Fe boys tell rather good story
on a man who is the victim of a "huge JOKE
at least it is called q huge joke" by some
but evidently there is one man in the wide,
wide world that does not size it up and add
i! to the long list of jokes originating in rail
road circles.
For some time man has been circulating
at night il the freight yards of the Santa Fe
armed TO the teeth and with the command
Of one of authority ordered every fellow out
of the yards who, in his judgment, ought to
go. He called some nights ago at the dis
patche,'s Office and seemed to be well &C
quainted ard at his ease. Before leaving he
took a fancy to a gun belonging
to the dispatcher and concluded
that he needed the same in his business In
the course OF few hours the fellow was
placed under arrest. The next morning he
was introduced to Mr.. W. D. Murdoch, and
stated that about three weeks ago tai,
slim. we'll dressed man with q convent onal
suit and stove pipe hat walked out of the
Valley house, aud approaching him and
another man, asked them if they did not
want a job. They replying affirmatively,
were told to go to the Santa Fe freight yards
and keep night guard. The first night was
enough to prove to che of them that he
wanted no more of that, but Smith had been
at work ever since. thinking he had been EN-
p!oyed by Santa Fe official
Mr. Murdoch told him that he certainly
had not been hired by any Santa Fe official,
aud had better quit duty al least temporarily
for investigation. 1t dawnei on Smith tina.
probably he was the victim OF trick and
left the Office swearing vengeance.

Logan the seIdiers,ErIena.

From his very nature he became the
soldiers friend. 1t was tenderness OF
nature that made him the friend OF
every soldier in the war. He carried
the years of the war through each re-
ceding decade and lived among its
stirring memories. He maintained
close relations to the veterans. Thrice
be was elected Conmander-in-chief of
the Grand Army of the Republic. As
chairman of the committee on militia
~ affairs he was in a position of
power. To-day the $4,000 veterans
in the Grand Army of the Repu olic,
from 5000, feel that they have lost a
friend. To-day, $4,000 pensioners
bless his memory. To-day, 23O, 900
900 widows and orphans breathe a
prayer to heaven for the peace of his
soul. To-day, the spirits of $50, 900
patriot soldiers slain in the war gather
around the great soul of Logan and
thank him that on each returning 30th
of May their graves are not forgotten,
but are covered with flowers. The
designation of that day for memorial
service was suggested by Logan and
he was wont to say: cit was the
proudest day of my life" And to-
day could the 100000 patriotic dead
rise from their graves, each with
flower in their hand, there
would rise a floral mountain to the
skies, the perfume of which would as
cend in gratitude to the god of bat
tles.-Dr. Ne,Uman.

JOHN ROACH DEAD.-John Roach, the
well known shipbuilder. died in New
York Monday morning, of a deseaSe
similar to that which proved fatal to
Gen. Grant. Mr.. Roach was born in
Ireland about II years ago. He came to
this country when Is years old. Find
ing no employment III New York, the
poor, friendless boy crossed over into
New Jersey in serch of man who had
worked for his father in the old country.
He found him at the Howell works, 80
miles from Jersey City, and procured
work in the same establishment, which
was owned by James Allaire. Three
years from his beginning life in the
United States he had accumulated ST.
500, and leaving the balance of his saw
ingS in the hands of Mr.. Allaire, took a
small amount of cash and started for the
West with the intention to buy land.
Mr.. Allaire'S failure in business killed
his project and lett the young man I'M
der the necessity of working as labor
er in order to live. HeTeturned to New
York, and shortly afterward-he was
married by this time-set up in business
in which he prOSpered for a while, but
was afterward financially ruined by the
explosion of a boiler. Undaunted, he
started afreSh. and became the owner of
the foundry in which were built the
largest engines ever constructed in the
United States up to that time. After a
few years he bought out the Morgan
iron works in Neptune, the Franklin
forge and the Allaire works. In Nov,
1871, he also bought the shipyards at
Chester, Pa, owned by Messrs. Rainier
q Sons. Since that time he built many
fine steamships. Mr.. Roach was a
strong protectionist in his views and a
strenuous advocate for congressional sub
sides, for the restoration of the strength
and prestige of the United States COM
mercial marine.
